Swingin’ Report Show #23: Let’s Try This Again

The newest Swingin’ Report Show marks my triumphant return to the podcast, that should be enough for you to download, right? This week we talk about the latest SEGA news and show a special soft spot for Shinobi on the 3DS. This week’s guests include George, Barry the Nomad, Shigs and special guest Asher, illustrator and YouTube animator of Sonic Paradox.

Yeah, that seems to be an issue across the board with the podcasts. I’ll see what George and Shadi can do about it. In the meantime, the download link does work, as you mentioned. So in the meantime, folks can click that and download or play in their browser.

Seems that the old player we used might have been uninstalled when we move to the new look. Sorry for the trouble, but it should be fixed now! At least for this podcast, going back to the rest and fixing it. Enjoy.

It’s a bummer about Sonic Generations 3DS, because I see the 3DS version flying off store shelves while the HD versions kinda just sits there….Nintendo fans buy Sonic. Why does Sega consistently provide them with rushed versions when they always sell the best? Argh.

Show some respect to the decisions of iizuka-san! He is in charge of Sonic and knows best. In a interview in Nintendo Power of all places he said the Wii version was scrapped because it wasn’t fulfulling his vision of HD graphics. So they made the 3DS version instead for the Nintendo fanbase.

Iizuka-san; not afraid to be honest.

Sonic CD isn’t on Nintendo platforms either! Not SEGA’s fault Nintendo sucks. I wouldn’t be surprised of Episode 2 didn’t make it onto Nintendo platforms either, according to Ken Balough Sonic CD is really important to the story of Episode 2 and that’s why they are re-releasing it.

Oh and don’t worry about SEGA losing money, they are making massive amounts off of Mario & Sonic and Generations 3DS Cash-in edition to fund their next masterpiece for XBOX 720 and PS4.

Oh and know what’s funny? A Japanese person asked Iizuka-san on facebook if Generations was for Wii or iPhone. and Iizuka just assumed they were talking about their kid, since they didn’t want his true vision on HD platforms and said “Get the 3DS version for the kid”

Just a glimpse into how Iizuka-san sees Nintendo. A platform for kids.
